NSPA SOC Disaster Relief

In 2023, under the lead of the Southern Operational Centre (SOC), the NSPA team provided a significant effort in the construction and management of three NATO Villages built in Türkiye as immediate task from North Atlantic Council (NAC) in response of the official request of the Turkish government. The sites, in Antakya, Iskenderun and Defne, were opened in May and June 2023 and are capable to host up to 8000 people displaced by the devastating earthquakes that hit the region in February 2023.
